[Brighton] Dryrobe 'culture war': which side are you on?

[BN9 BHA]

Got a DryRobe for Christmas and it is amazing. Mrs BNThree has to stop me wearing it all the time. So warm and cosy.

Dry and slightly breezy?

Was lashing it down in the post-match train queue. Almost wish I’d worn mine.

Well on my way home by then (after the final whistle).

Didn’t you read the weather report thread?
I did see someone in shorts at the station after the match

Like the matching dog coat, please be careful of the road though as drivers won’t see you or the dog in camouflage

Some coats I’ve had down the years have said waterproof but they just haven’t been.
These dryrobes, when I get in from a rainy dog walk, the rain drop are like little pearls that just roll off the coat. Absolutely worth the investment. Not sure I’m going to give it back to the wife. Hers is the grey/black camo with black fleece lining. Amazing coat

Can’t see anything, could you reload it?

I have got a fjallraven coat that is very waterproof, I bought mine in a sale 5+ years back.

I nearly brought one for £30 in primark Truro in September and wish I had now

The idea is good . You can buy either coats that do a similar thing , ie keep you dry . M and S do a properly waterproof coat .

I have a towelling version which I only wear indoors. It has blue and white vertical stripes.

Should only really be worn post activity. These have snuck their way into cross country over the last couple of years, bit of a 'middle class stamp' really.

I think they came from the winter/wild swimming scene first, then spread.

 

[METALMICKY]

Not my cup of tea and should remain in the beach/wild swimming situation. For effective waterproof jackets I'd rather plum for a premium brand like Rab.

It's mainly just slobs banned from going out in their PJs to school runs and Sainos

I laughed at your comment because it is just so true.

Perfect for open water swimming, fishing and even proper dog-walking. But for doing the shopping in town? Hell no.

 

[Washboard Didgets]

I've seen a few parents wearing them on the school run recently... in Felbridge, Surrey. A county without a coast.

It's a no from me, in the same category as Crocs, wearing Sliders with Nike sports socks, and going sockless with ankle length overly tight trousers and a pair of Mince Trotters*

They give me the same uneasy feeling as seeing someone over 30 on a scooter.

I am not a swim in the sea in all seasons type wanker or wear a dry robe after wanker but getting there. !!!!
